This is my spoken word about how mental health collides with an ordinary life and the amount of sheer regret it gives you. Teenagers have started regretting things more and more with the fast pace of the world.
I used Samsung video editor
Here is the video:
Soap Mouth
what is regret?
Is regret a mistake?
M-I-S-T-A-K-E
My barely developed 11th grader brain does not get it
Get IT
Why do we make so many mistakes
Does your heart ever ache?
Do you ever feel like you would break?
Do you?
Regret I am full of it.
When I raise my voice without a point.
When I spit out words like gum on the damn concrete
With no reason
It’s like you’re a goose and its hunting season
The things I could’ve prevented if I was in my right mind
The people I could’ve saved
The heart’s I could’ve prevented from breaking
The things I could’ve changed…
Could’ve
C-O-U-L-D V-E
It’s just a word
But to me its much more than a word
Could’ve is like a creep following me around and tracking every single thing that comes out of my mouth
So close, yet so far
Trying to fail me
Trying to
Trying to make me regret my life choices
And forever be unforgivable of myself
Now I’m sitting in my room
On my bean bag which is as fluffy as baby duckling
Realizing what I have done
Realizing that I was wrong
Why did I say that?
What would it be like if I had just kept those words to myself
If I haven’t been so full of myself
Now I just look like a fool
Regret is no pretty precious princess I tell you
It’s more like a stain left behind from a thanksgiving dinner
That you just can’t get off no matter how hard you try
Better rinse my mouth out with soap of innocence
What was I thinking?
What did I think would happen?
What results was I expecting from that?
I’m confused
Why me?
So much questions yet no answers…
Come at me universe
